Event Description

Step into the world of legendary cartoonist R.K. Laxman through 78 handpicked caricatures capturing his sharp wit, gentle humour, and unerring eye for detail.

From politicians to film stars, this special exhibition offers a nostalgic and powerful lens into India’s post-independence journey — told through the strokes of the master behind the Common Man.

A must-visit for art lovers, satire fans, and anyone who cherishes Indian history told with a twinkle in the eye.

R K Laxman, best known for his iconic "Common Man”, was not only a satirist par excellence but also a master caricaturist. The 78 caricatures on display, curated from various phases of his prolific career, reflect his brilliant ability to distil the essence of a personality into a few strokes — always exaggerated, yet never unkind. From politicians and film stars to writers, thinkers, and fellow artists, each portrait tells a story — of a time, a temperament, and Laxman's unerring eye for detail.
